Diagnosed with COPD 4 yrs ago and currently Severe stage. Managed well with inhalers etc, plenty of excercise and weight control.

Every year I like to travel abroad at least once and to date I have not had any problems flying. However, I am i sure if I could fly long haul with my condition and I am asking for other people's experiences. I am not on oxygen.

Hi Jehinch, I suffer from COPD and fly long haul about twice a year. My GP has never told me to stop it. I get checked out first at surgery and its all go from there. Keeping my fingers crossed after writing this as I am off to Vancouver in February (nine hour flight) and hoping I haven't jinxed myself!!! Best wishes, Juney
